Fstoppers has collaborated with very successful headshot photographer Dylan Patrick to create The Cinematic Headshot, a 6-hour instructional. Dylan has become well-known in New York and Los Angeles for his distinctively stylistic photographs and actor headshots. Dylan will walk you through his complete coaching, lighting, and retouching process in this lesson.

No Studio, No Issue
Dylan went from struggling actor/bar tender to full-time portrait photographer in a year without ever utilizing a studio. Managing natural light on location may be challenging, but Dylan’s lighting approach takes the benefits of studio lighting to the field.

Learn More About the Equipment
Dylan’s kit consists of one camera, one lens, two speedlights, one reflector, and two modifiers. Photographers on any budget will be able to purchase the equipment required to get comparable photographs.

Discover How To Light
Dylan’s photography isn’t about having costly equipment; it’s about knowing how to use what you have. This article will teach you how to light in optimum lighting, extremely harsh lighting, and even at night. Dylan’s tactics will help you get consistent outcomes in any place and at any time of day.

Dylan’s distinctive aesthetic is 50% due to his teaching and lighting, and the other 50% is due to his post production.
